N/A RCS?


RCS=x….x

(See Description of
Arguments)

Example:

Description:

<1/RCS?’cr’
>0001/RCS=’cr’
ESW=1’cr’
AFR=1’cr’
XRF=N/A’cr’’lf’



Redundancy Mode
Auto Fault Recovery

XRF = External reference status, N/A = no external reference, 05M
for 5 MHz, and 10M for a 10 MHz
Note: XRF will always be N/A if the internal reference oscillator
option is not installed.

bytes Command or Query.

Adjusts the reference oscillator tuning voltage by sending a DAC
value in the following format: REF=xxx, where xxx is a numeric
value from 0 to 255.

Default value: 087

Example: <1/REF=087’cr’
>0001/REF=’cr’’lf’

Note: This command sets the DAC value, but the actual Reference
Oscillator tuning voltage can be monitored using the RMS
command.
